The mother of a Kentucky high school football player is furious over the Christian baptism of her son during what he said was supposed to be a school outing to eat a steak dinner and see a “motivational speaker.”
Instead, Breckinridge County High School football coach Scott Mooney took 20 of his players on a trip to a Baptist revival, where eight or nine of the students underwent the Christian ritual of baptism, according to published reports.
Michelle Ammons, mother of 16-year-old Robert Coffee, said she’s upset that nobody ever asked her consent to take her son to the August 26 religious ceremony. She added that she’s even more upset with the school district superintendent Janet Meeks, who was at the revival and did not object to the coach including his students.
Nothing to see here, you loons should just move on…
#19, Dr Dodd, wow, you’re on to the conspiracy. There is no Neptune or other planets. It’s all a big scam.
Now that that’s out of the way, please provide proof of the existence of any higher power.
I figure Baptism should be an honor EARNED.
By your heart, soul and HOW you treat the world. NOT just GIVEN.
Iv seen to many baptised that are STILL ASS’S in their OWN right.
the coach can tell his family, “GOD wants me to be unemployed.”
I don’t think the article is really fair. Not once does it drill down to the really important facts, like did he get his steak or not? And what cut of steak was it? Was medium rare, rare or blue? What type of sauce? Wine?
Hopefully the kid was not a muslim, then the kid’s parents would have to kill him!
Do you need your mommies permission to accept Jesus as your savior?
#22-fpp2002-please provide proof of the existence of any higher power.
Gaze into the sky on a dark cloudless night and witness the magnificence of what you see. Look upon the simple leaf of a tree or the rose that opens it peddles for no other reason than to bring beauty into your life.
Study the complexity of life and be amazed at how it all fits together in a delicate balance that simple chance can’t explain.
There is intelligent design everywhere you turn. From the way fresh water is kept separate from salt water to the provided elements necessary to sustain life.
The only people who don’t see the existence of a higher power choose to be blind. Even at that you are taking advantage of God’s gift of freewill.
#28 Dr. Dodd said,
“Look upon the simple leaf of a tree or the rose that opens it peddles for no other reason than to bring beauty into your life.”
Just out of curiosity, do you REALLY believe that a rose opens its peddles for no other reason than to bring beauty into your life?
#29-Number 6
So I guess that means I can place a check in the blind category for Number 6.
Thanks for playing.
#30 Dr. Dodd,
I take it from that you don’t intend to answer the question?
What can we take from the fact that just asking you to confirm a statement you made earlier, or take the opportunity to deny it, is too tough a question for you to handle?
It was a sad day when they did away with the lions………………..
How about “Nutjob college prof converts a Christan student to Secular Humanism without mother’s permission” Depends upon which religion you belong to.
With Islam you’re not allowed to interfere with a minor becoming a Muslim. If the Muslim converts back, that’s a mandatory capital offense in the Quran. They wrap you up in a burial shroud and stone you to death.
Is the mom concerned that the baptism won’t work, or that it will? And why should a 16-year need permission from his mom to give his life to Christ?
Today’s assignment:
Prove that there is no god.
for all of those who so eagerly denounce religion, I have a real question for you:
do you not believe in the human soul?
that is, do you believe that you are exactly the sum of the molecules and chemical reactions that take place in the physical space occupied by your body? or do you believe there’s more to you than that?
think about that one for a minute and then respond. I’m just asking a serious question.
# 36, of course not. Don’t be retarded.

A variation I use with people is “If you think it’s acceptable to promote Christianity at school/courthouse/library, wait until it also is acceptable to promote Islam. Or satanic worship.”
If you can’t expose your kids to all, you can’t expose them to any. And just as well as MY god is better than YOUR gods.
#28, Dr Dodd, please try again. You’re being lazy and relying on the same old tired explanations. None of that is proof of intelligent design, any more than cancer or any of the thousands of other conditions your imaginary friend saw fit to inflict us with, is proof of satan.

You are looking for a miracle where only simple observation is required.
Take those blinders off and have a good look around.
